How Is It Paid?

The fee is usually calculated on the basis the performance that the team had in the previous season. The rules and fees are a bit confusing so we are confused since the fee for Mercedes is bigger. Why? The fee is also connected to the US consumer price index which also increases the fee. We should also add that Racing Pint is lower than it was.
